The Vice-President of the United States, Kamala Harris, has embarked on an exciting tour of the African continent that is set to strengthen diplomatic ties between Washington and the region. Her visit, which started on Sunday, March 26, kicked off in Ghana where she is expected to spend three days before moving to Tanzania and Zambia.
This strategic tour comes just a few months after the United States Africa summit that took place in Washington D.C., and is seen as a significant move towards fostering stronger relations between the US and Africa.
In her address upon arrival in Accra, Kamala Harris expressed her delight at being in Ghana, and on the African continent. She spoke passionately about the future of Africa and the impact it is set to have on the rest of the world. With an average age of just 19, she noted the continent’s potential for growth, innovation, and opportunity. She sees this as a great opportunity not just for Africans but for the entire world.
As the tour progresses, the world will be watching with keen interest, hoping that this visit will pave the way for a stronger partnership between the United States and Africa, and set the stage for increased collaboration and cooperation in various sectors including education, trade, and investment.
